Creative Writing for the Creator

Mankind, with its peculiar characteristics, never ceases to amaze me. Looking back into primitive societies, I can’t help but notice how far we have come in all our artistic works, discoveries, and knowledge. The human brain, in its intricate neurochemical and physiological pathways, is our natural command center for experiencing reality, learning, and expanding our skills, from basic survival to complex and luxurious lifestyles. It is paramount to reflect on what being human means and how we came to be. To dive into those considerations, we must go back to the origin and creation of mankind and the universe. The more we learn about ourselves and other creatures, the more we realize there is an Intelligent Design or source from which all we see and experience originates. From DNA to galaxies, there is no haphazard or accidental creation. This Intelligent Design and source of all creation is an Intelligent Creator . And I believe this Intelligent Creator is God.  God, the Creator, ha

“Passione per Gelato?” (what a title for a blog post!) I don’t blame you for thinking that. After all, this is a bilingual blog in English and Portuguese…  So why Italian now? Well, be patient with me. Keep reading, and you will soon find out where this is leading. I will start this true story from the beginning: Once the pandemic restrictions were eased, we decided that 2022 would be the year to travel to Brazil, my home country. After over five years, my husband and I would, at last, visit my family! A second honeymoon has been on our bucket list for years. And a second honeymoon in Brazil would be even more fabulous! We planned it all for the end of July, and off we flew! Our first night would be at the fancy, world-famous Copacabana Palace. Oh, and luxurious this five-star hotel was: from its intricate architecture to the spa, pool, three restaurants, exquisite food, and attentive staff... all in the details and welcoming little surprises at every corner. The ocea

  What child is this who laid to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the babe, the son of Mary.  Why lies He in a such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear; for sinners here the silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through; the cross be borne for me, for you: Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the babe, the son of Mary.  So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh; come, peasant, King, to own him; The King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high, the virgin sings her lullaby: Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary. (Written by William Chatterton Dix in 1865)   Who could ever guess that Mary,  while kissing the face of her baby,  was kissing the face of God?

It is never too late to realize that Proverbs is a book about relationships as God intended them to be:  A guide to Wisdom and to be wiser when dealing with one another in this world of complex human interactions. As a woman, I am always learning what the Lord desires from me. I find it fascinating to study His Word, and, more and more, I realize my ignorance, my short-sightedness.  I am convinced that acquiring true Wisdom starts with loving God and putting Him first in my life. Amazingly, it brings me back to the right perspective every single time. And I feel loved and protected by a caring, protective Father who chastises me when I go wrong. And I yearn to please Him!  A metamorphosis: from caterpillar to butterfly.  As I study Proverbs, I learn to transform into the lady He desires me to be. I am learning, from the inside out, how to use these beautiful wings.

Minha Promessa de Ano Novo? My New Year's Resolution? Sim, tenho uma e uma somente: Yes, I do have one and one only: Viver aberta e inteiramente para Deus! To live all out and wholly for God! Feliz Ano Novo! Happy New Year!

A mother's love, oh so dear The Lord made soft yet strong to endure Whatever toil, storm, or nightmare In constant vigil, ever so near... A mother's heart bears no fear: Springing mercies and prayers, Pierces its halo up onto heaven  And melts the heart of God!
